    Awhile back I posted a request for info on a 1986 Cavalcade http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60982 Well my friend ended up buying it and today I saw and rode it. This Bike was the Cavacade LS and man was it loaded with chrome and toys. It had options that had to have been brought down by aliens. On top ofthat the bike looked like it just came out of the box, apparently there were only 700 sold in Canada. I took the bike for a ride and it was very nice riding bike. However having said that I still prefer riding the venture. It felt to me like throttle response on the venture was much quicker and Handling was much nicer at least while in motion. Believe it or not the wheel base is a little longer, but the bike is lighter by some 200 LBS. Putting it on the center stand is a breeze. Along with the bike being lighter the center stand has a much longer step down bar on the side of the stand which swivals forward forward out of the way with the aid of a return spring type setup. The seat back was attached to the top luggage rack which could be slide back and forth depending on how much passinger room one needed. the seat and back rest were inflatable and it had automatic air ride suspension which you set at the touch of a button while sitting on the bike with both stands pulled up off the ground

    I don't think he played. If the game took place in 1921 he would have been over the hill by then:rotfl:

    Does kind of sound like a theft attempt gone wrong if the kick stand was up.

    Sorry to hear about your bike While your breaking them boots in don,t forget the parents. I am a firm believe that todays lack of dicipline is largely the result of modern parenting. The belief that he who loves his children shall not spare the rod was not without merit.

    Looking at M/C 1/2 covers and have my eye on these two so far http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/13/117/36883/ITEM/Show-Chrome-Ultragard-Classic-Half-Cover.aspx http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/13/117/1471/ITEM/Dowco-Guardian-Traveler-Cover.aspx Both are sold by Motorcycle Super Store. The price looks not bad and the reviews are pretty positive. Has any one had any experience with these or the store itself. Have any Canadian members purchased from this company and what was your experience in dealing with them with regards to cross border shipping.

    Just for the record I have had no issues at all while here at home. But last week while at my brother inlaws near St Louis I got redirected several times even when I was already on the site and I had to relog in.Clicking remember me box while I was on the site seemed to stop this. This also happened to me while I was doing an online work related exam (causing me to have one wrong answer . . NO I am not using this as an excuse ). Now, he is on a wireless internet so I wonder if that may be part of the issue.

    May I make two suggestions 1) instead of using the 2 female couplers use 2 bulkhead fittings this why you can mount them nice and neat . Here is a link http://www.parker.com/portal/site/PARKER/menuitem.de7b26ee6a659c147cf26710237ad1ca/?vgnextoid=fcc9b5bbec622110VgnVCM10000032a71dacRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&vgnextdiv=&vgnextcatid=10261&vgnextcat=207ACBH+ANCHOR+COUPLING&Wtky=FITTINGS 2) send me you left over class parts I will keep them for spare parts.

    liquid type oil In all seriousness I have been running Amsoil synthetic M/C oil. I change filters every 4,000 KM and the oil every 4th filter about 20,000 km. I have been thinking about going back to dino oil however because (A) it is cheaper ( although I would change the dino oil more frequently) and (B) it seems the dino oil tends to do a better job of reducing mechanical noise from the the engine. But then again I could just be imagining it
